Comments from Dan Et Nath on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

very nice hotel, nice room, beautiful beach, snack bar buffet ok average, near the town were a big plus because can go there when want to have. a foot or caleche.le chip market is not easily bargain may have never pay the price they disent.le bus ride on pénincule 5cuc a person's right you can see other hotels.les shows at the hotel are well. but the best is the evening of magie.les rooms are always clean a daily scuptures made with the hotel without consulting serviettes.je hésiter.ps not forget to rent a scooter to visit.

Negative :

the lack of buffet service even with good tips.manque places in the hotel bar. lack of respect for people who come to see in the night they cry in the passages and fouttent the world.

Comments from France Brière on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

Food if you eat different things every day you will not be disgusted at the end of the week. Otherwise you will take care nauseated after the second day the meal never varied. Superb swimming pool. The snack bar by the pool you can request a foccasia it you will make.

Negative :

We were between two storms when the beach was very ordinary red flag and yellow 5 days 2 days which is no water sports or swimming for 5 days even for two days of no yellow flag water sport even pedalo . People said it was one of the most beautiful beach in Cuba. Sorry not for me. I much prefer the Dominican Republic. We were supposed to have a bungalow but we ended up at 4 iem floor very disappointed. Supposedly there were no new bungalow. We paid for a bungalow.

Comments from kmikca on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

Decent hotel, clean but not worth its price. In our opinion, the hotel began its decline; one of two elevators was not working for 7 days, good buffet, but very repetitive, copy / paste 3 times a day, 7 days a week; Resto: same food buffet, except for the lobster room: the air conditioner thermostat defective, have to do manually, even during the night; Very beautiful beach.

Negative :

We did not have the room we had requested, it was not until two days before he had, at first he wanted us to pay a supplement. Sevice prioritized for Spanish-speaking customers, or is harassed for the tip, even at the reception it seems we can get what you want with the $ $ $. Beautiful beach, but very hard chairs; youth had their own loud music, and they did nothing. Always had to ask them to restock the fridge.

Comments from Nathalie on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

My friend and I were there the first week of August 2007 and we returned again this year on the same dates! Wow! The hotel is really great, not for nothing that we returned again this year! We were housed in standard rooms in the main building, room very correct! Very clean! We had a small sea view! It's super nice! BEACH: Perfect! the white sand, turquoise seas and warm, no waves, with an air mattress is heaven!! Against by the chairs of beaches are hard!! (Plastic). They should change them and put comfortable! There is always music to the beach the atmosphere is great! POOLS: beautiful pools, shallow! The chairs at the pool are very comfortable! BUFFET: Very good! Nothing to say! many choices! If you like wine, do like my boyfriend: do you buy wine at duty free and take it! The wine is not very good there! The breakfasts very good too! You also have a restaurant on the beach and restaurants at the pool, very good! ANIMATION: Some activities at the beach the day, the GEO are nice and not too pushy! EVENING SHOW: You can not really talk shows, we have seen only one, it was ok! At around 11:30 every night we went out to go dancing in different club every night! Is this really fun in bars! My favorite is: RUMBA!! lot of fun there! All bars are great fun!! Feel free to choose the Solymar! BON VOYAGE!

Negative :

The beach chairs are hard! 1 WEEK TOO SHORT!! ah ah ah

Comments from protom on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

The lobby of the hotel is super nice, it's a nice hotel with very flamboyant colors, it can be said. The beach is beautiful, this is my second after that of Cayo Largo. The pool is large, we advise you to bring your beach towels, it'll save you wait very long for towels from the hotel. The buffet is good, some days super good and some not so but there are always interesting things to eat, but after two weeks we can find ca very repetitive, we tried the Thai restaurant LAI LAI, the main street Varadero very very good, we went 2 x. For a la carte restaurants, we tried the Cuban ok without more, the Italian blah, but we enjoyed the seafood, we went 2x, do not forget it all depends on taste. Our rooms were in the hotel 5th floor, quiet, clean but in the second week there were ants in the room of my son, the last day there were quite a few. For staff it is in general, some are better than others, I think the staff is more attentive in the Cayos in Varadero that is like for animation. For staff we advise you to go to those who are most attentive and smiling and keep the same server, bartender or waiter and TIPER throughout your stay, your vacation will only be better. **** Do not forget to go to Call 62, dancing with the Cubans in the street really great, ha yes a big plus for choosing this hotel, it is close to downtown, ca is on foot, 5 - 10 min at most, this bike is really great for sightseeing. I recommend this hotel for beach lovers, general cleanliness of the hotel, the pool and proximity to the city.

Negative :

The animation on the day it is not strong at all but the evening entertainment ok, need to dance went outside, the hotel next door (International) came to $ 10.00.

Comments from Yanek Dubois on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

Definitely among the best deals in Varadero in category 4 stars. The site is beautiful, the personel is very friendly, the drinks are good and very accesible, the beach is beautiful and this is one of the most dynamic places to party. I wonder about the relevance of adding more ½ star hotel but is nevertheless an excellent 4 stars. Several small extra interesting: Sparkling at lunch, water bottles and beer cans renewed without fresh in the fridge. The hotel is in my opinion more interesting than the bungalow because it offers a beautiful sea view and a substantial saving.

Negative :

The bed was really disappointing, very uncomfortable with foam pillows and bedding of very low quality and questionable cleanliness. For the bed: 2 stars! The air conditioner does not perform well in hot weather when the nights can be long. The cleanliness of the room was adequate at best. And the classic cuba ... food that has the function of our subsistence needs. At the antithesis of the other employees, those of water sports are not interested in serving you unless it is to buy their catamaran snorkeling excursion. No Aquabar in the pool, too bad. Finally, this time of year is very quiet side party and traffic, for any Varadaro.
